Hi Everyone,
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my previous post and a warm welcome newcomers, it's lovely to see you here.

A Finish at last :)
 Fawn on block#13

its been a very long time since I started this stoney creek woodland baby Afghan,

Oct 2013! but it's finally finished, I'm very pleased with it and it was a joy to make.

I never expected it to take this long when I started but there have been some interruptions with house renovations and decorating!
and me switching from one project to another :)
LOL
I Have started to put the cotton backing on and will sew it tomorrow

I Think it will look nice with a backing on,

hope you enjoy it :)

Happy Stitching :)

Tree of Love Block #7

Hi All, hope everyone has had a lovely summer, can you believe how fast this year has gone? it's nearly September already!

well, after my year of decorating ( and it feels like a year lol ) I have managed to fit in some time for my Afghan project and finished the tree that is the centre of the blanket, so I'm halfway there, 

I finished this on wed 13th August and have already started the next block :)

I hope to spend more time on my Afghan now with the Autumn months ahead and those cosy winter days :) Happy stitching!

Only 8 more little babies to go :)

 but what fun this project is, I'm not working on it constantly, I'm taking breaks from it and trying other crafts along the way, here is a Dresden plate I made yesterday, not finished yet as I'm undecided what to do with it but I thought they would make great cushion fronts and beautiful Christmas gifts, so that may be a project soon :)

Also, in the charm pack I used for the plate were these squares... :) a fat quarter is not a body part :) 
LOL

love them

Happy weekend and happy crafting :)

Baby Owl is finished Block #1

stoney creek, woodland babies

Hi everyone :) Thank you for your comments on my previous posts, its always lovely to see you have visited and any input or tips you might have :)

talking of tips... I have one for anyone using the plastic snap frames, I've been using it for the first time on my baby afghan blanket, I really like the frame but where it snaps onto your fabric it can pull and snag the stitches so I bought some thin but strong cleaning cloths and cut them to size and put them in between the fabric and the piece of plastic that snaps on... it works a treat :) no more snagged stitches or pulled material.

I've finished the first woodland baby, the baby owl :)

he was a treat to stitch. yesterday I realised this blanket will need a backing as you cant leave all the threads exposed to baby... and do I have a sewing machine.. NO

So onto the Internet I went ( its a wonderful thing) :)

and ordered a sewing machine, that's being delivered on Tuesday, its been years and years since I touched a sewing machine..but a new adventure awaits :) maybe new hobbies will come from my new toy lol

you never know!!

happy stitching :)

The postman knocks

Today the postman delivered my baby afghan and chart :) it looks very nice.

 I also ordered one of these plastic clip together frames, I've never used one before and wonder if any of you have and what are they like to use? I thought it may be better than a hoop, I usually use a frame but don't think I'll get all the baby blanket on there lol well only time will tell how I get on with the clip frame but please feel free to let me know what YOUR experiences are.

happy stitching :)
